Log Cabin Should Go.

The arkansas Baptist writing upon
the poor, miserable cabins in which
the mass Of farm laboTers are COM
PEELED to live is moved to exclaim
"Why don't they complain.
1t is to be hoped that our land
lords will allow the boom to sweeps
away ihtss ancient huta and re-
place them with the neat. airy and
cosy modern cottages. 10 doing 80
they will not only add tc the health
and comfort of their tenants but
materially enhance the value and
appearance OF their property. In the
mean time farmers should insist upon
having these huts tom away and
good houses built instead.

A Telling Day for New Market
and Madison County.
From the Mercury.

From the Mercury.
AS had been previously announced in
the MERCURY, the celebration Of the run
ming OF the first train into New Market
on the n & n. A. r. r. took place last
Wednesday,
Early in the morning, long before the
usual hour of rising, with our people. the
rumble OF every character Of vehicle and
conveyance was heard coming into all
roads leading to New Market.
Fully four thousand people gathered
beneath the green arches OF a beautiful
grove, hard by the waking town Of New
Market, to give expressions Of their graft
fications on the completion of the n. &
n. A. r. r. to that place.
1t was plain to be seen that the hearts
OF olS and young were brim full OF solid
Joy as the new track was gazed upon.
and every time the whistle sounded, a
fresh JOY seized the rejoicing throng.
Such things had been seen by this peo-
pie before, but with a new and enthu-
siastic interest were they beheld on yes
terday. An apple in another's orchard
is sweet, but meyer so palatablo as the
one taken from our 0lOn tree.
Other railroads and locomotives on
yesterday, with all their ponderous sige
niticance were lost sight OF, and the rail-
road and locomotives right IN Ne,o Mar
ket was the centre Of thought and the
just cause of jollifcation. The MERCURY
rejoices with the good people Of New
Market on this their triumph, and we
shall hopefully look to the early.comple>
ton of the road to Huntsville, when we
shall do our best to initiate their magnani-
! nous and progressive spirit as was shown
on yesterday.
0. K. Hundiey, Ben P. Hunt Esq, DIR.
Francisco Rice and Prof J. A. B. Lovett
were introduced to the immense multi
tude who spoke in the spirit OF the oc-
casion,
There was an abundance Of the very
best dinner for all, and many baskets
were taken up after the people had been
amply served.
The HuntsvilleCornet Band discoursed
sweet music, which added very much to
the enjoyment of the OCCASION Several
hundred more people would have been
present had not the managers OF the new
road expressed fears as to the safety Of
the run from Flora to New Market, the
road bed not being sufficiently settled to
make the risk. A large number Of peo-
pie in Fayetteville and other points fails
ed, in consequence, to attend the gather
ing.
This was a telling day for New Mar
ket and Madison county, the remem-
brance of which, with its good fruits,
will reach to many generations following.
We cannot close this notice without
heartily praising the management of tn
joyful affair. Everything, to the mint
test detail, was carried out in most splen-
did order. The organization Of commits
tees was complete and every man and
woman, acted his part faithfully and

PROPOSED NATIONALLEAGU
ing of Color ed People.

New YoRK, July 80. Editor 7.
Thomas Fortune, of the New York
Freeman. talked to reporter yes
terday about the proposed Afro AM
erican league, whose formation Editer
Torture is urging in bis newspaper.
II first proposed the idea of ma
tionaI leagning togather Of colored
people, = said Fortune, 'at the close
of an editorial which l published five
weeks ago upon the lynching of four
Negroes 1t Yor' s. G. | aske !
if the n groes of the whole country
couldn't bank themselves together
in some way ard do sonnet thing
to better the demor ,lized con-
dition OF the race in the South, as
we'll as to ecure some of the civil
rights which arc denied us in the
North. The idea was taken up and
advocated by ali the leading news
papers edited by Negro men in tie
land, and received the indor- ement
of our leading colored citiz MS. had
no idea of starting such movement
as grew Up and l was somewhat
surprised at the eagerness with which
the suggestion Was acted upon.
BASIS OF BELIEF
Our lians are not mitured yet.
What we are trying to do now is to
get our people organized upon
the general basi, of b lief in move
ment to secure our rights. We prt :
pose to form ward and county and
state leagues first. Tuen we shall hold
national convention aud settle the
exact purposes and policy of our
order in con atitution and bylaws.
In general way, however, | may
say that the league will doubtless aim
at the creation by agitation Of pub
lie opinion favorable to the rights of
the colore man, an the collection
and maintenance of fund for the
prosecution of those who violate the
laws which have been enacted in Our
behalf. The league will mingle in pol
itics, of course. 1t will try to get
the body OF colorel men to assume
an Independent position in politics.
Then and not till then, will we be bet
ter off. Our procee dings will be secret
of course. We don't fear that his for
NATION of the race into a separate
poll ical organization can draw npon
it any greater social ostracism than
it suffers row.
"The work of preliminary organ
ization is going on splen didly. We
have large organization in Virgin
ia, and [ understand that the first
steps toward state organization in
Connecticut were taken yesterday in
Hartford by the coalition of the Negro
societies, which will form the basis Of
the present league. You can't begin to
know how ready our people are for
this movement. All our organization
wants for its success is that it shall
once get fairly started"
